An Analysis of the Saudi Succession
The succession in Saudi Arabia comes at a time when Saudi foreign policy seems to be collapsing all around the Kingdom.

This program begins with the succession in Saudi Arabia following the death of King Abdullah and the pilgrimage of world leaders, including President Obama who is cutting short his visit to India, to the oil-rich family kingdom to pay their respects to the new king, Salman, at a time when Saudi foreign policy seems to be collapsing all around the kingdom. Lina Khatib, the director of the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut, joins us to discuss the likely tenure of the new king who is reported to have Alzheimer’s and the role of the Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef who recently took over the Syria portfolio from the former defense minister Prince Bandar Bin Sultan.
This interview was originally broadcasted on the Background Briefing with Ian Masters.
